For me, the creation of a photograph begins long before the shutter clicks. It starts with a vision—understanding the light, the location, and the story I want to tell. The camera is just the tool to capture that initial moment.

I find immense satisfaction in the entire process, from that first click to the final, meticulous sculpting of light and tone in post-production. But this journey has also been about discovering my own strengths and weaknesses. Part of evolving as an artist is knowing where to improve and, just as importantly, knowing when to collaborate to bring a final vision to life. It's about a commitment to the final image, no matter what it takes to get there.
